We at Hallmark Luxury Care Homes are thrilled that for the second year, we have been awarded a Princess Royal Training Award from HRH The Princess Royal and City and Guilds, recognising our exceptional commitment to talent development.
HRH The Princess Royal, President of the City and Guilds of London Institute, has approved 52 Awards to a range of organisations across the UK and Ireland, for their outstanding training and skills development programmes, all of which have shown a significant positive impact on their organisation and people.
Now in its ninth year, The Princess Royal Training Awards continue to honour organisations showing exceptional commitment to learning and development.
Our programme at Hallmark was designed by the Learning and Development, People and Performance and Operations teams to encourage the development of existing Hallmark team members, focusing on strengthening the skills they already have, reducing team turnover and ensuring team members can progress in the business.
Talent Development Manager, AnnMarie Duggan said: “We are thrilled that our Talent Development Programme has been recognised to be outstanding with the receipt of a Princess Royal Training Award. Supporting the individual talents of our team members and allowing them to develop, grow and reach their full potential is at the heart of this development programme. Talent development is a team effort at Hallmark and involves our wider People and Performance team.”
Kirstie Donnelly MBE, Chief Executive of City & Guilds said: “The Princess Royal Training Awards has become the ‘gold standard’ for training, learning and development, and continues to demonstrate how these can open up opportunities and attract new talent to industries with significant skills gaps and labour shortages.
“This year’s recipients have shown innovation and commitment to development within their own organisations, including those which have successfully tackled contemporary skills challenges which bring us closer to net zero, as well as others who have introduced unique and interesting programmes to ensure that traditional skills do not disappear.
“We are delighted to be able to recognise their accomplishments and, as we look ahead to our 10-year celebrations of the Awards are keen to continue seeing organisations prioritising investing into training to improve both their people, and organisation performance. We look forward to celebrating with this year’s recipients in the autumn.”
